Here's an idea that worked reasonably well to level a gravel pad.
I'm building a 12'x24' shed on a gravel pad. The floor joists sit directly on the gravel so they needed to be supported across the entire length and level both directions. I wasn't sure I could accomplish the task with just the light material bucket.
After getting it relatively flat by eye, I clamped a 2"x8"x12' in the jaws of the 4:1 bucket, put it in float and backed over the pad area. I was pleasantly surprised at the results. I also confirmed that my "eye" left a little to be desired as the PT-screed corrected many spots that I thought were flat.
Just a random tidbit in case anyone had a similar project - Andy
